I try 'til I succeed - Page 2

So I've been toying with using the rules for Taking Extra Time (p. B346) in a new way. If a person says their willing to e.g. search a room until they find something, I make a secret roll. If they succeed, I tell them what they find. If they fail by 5 or less, I add time as given on p. B346 (so if they fail by 2, it takes four times as long as normal; if they fail by 5 it takes 30 times as long as normal). If there is nothing to be found, they search for 30 times as long as normal whether they want to or not.
